Reviews
"The problems ( the band) are, if one believes Madness, line-up changes, struggles within the band, idleness and self-interest, and - not least - lack of musical competence. But if you look at the number of hit singles, the band 's last assertion - and the fact that the film dilutes the compounds of Madness to their early supporters of the skinhead scene - what to believe hardest on the statements of the film is. Otherwise, he is a transfiguring, but successful advertising product.
